Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32
If that doesn't correct the issue (and it should) use this automated edit:
Search or CMD Opens When Double Clicking a Folder or Drive (Line 18)

To use the VBS File: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you
may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double-click the vbs file.
You will be prompted when the script is done.

Every time I double click on a folder, it opens the explore window instead
of just opening the folder. I hate the explore window, it's annoying
because if I want to open the folder I have to right-click and go to open.
I tried changing the settings in the folder options in the control panel by
selecting open as default, but it still won't work. Help?
